Exploring Bayahibe

Getting around the village of Bayahibe itself is super easy: on foot. No cars needed.

It’s a small place and you’ll want to slowly wander around its colorful streets and alleys, meet locals, take photos and take in the gorgeous bay scenery. Or you could explore by scooter, and rental car.

What’s more, there are a lot of affordable or free things to do. For instance:

Taking a photo walk around the characteristic wooden homes of Bayahibe village

Visit the Puntilla, where an ancient church sits facing the bay

Hike the Parque Nacional of the East, with an easily reached entranced from the village

It’s a safe, tranquilopueblo that has kept its Dominican character.
